There's no wonder that Chihuahuas live long lives — not only are they full of spunk, but they offer a whole lot of love! Doxies are the same way, though, it's important to keep them at a healthy weight otherwise they can have back problems later in life.
3) Chihuahuas
Lifespan: 18 years
Besides their size, one of the reasons Chihuahuas live that long is that they’re not prone to a lot of genetic illnesses.
4) Dachshunds
Lifespan: 14 years
One of the Guinness World Records’ oldest living dogs was Chanel, a dachshund who died in 2009 at the age of 21.
Can you believe that a Doxie lived to be 21 years old?! That's encouraging if you want your fur baby to live a long life and there's still more breeds to come after the break!
Also, stay tuned for the dog breed on the last page. This doggie will melt your heart!
